about

Extended View evolved around the idea
to create a low-cost solution to
create panoramic media. The main goal was to create a simple
and accessible system, which provides everyone with the possibility to
experiment with that wider angle of vision and to explore the
challenges and chances that lie in this format. Furthermore Extended
View Toolkit serves as a multi-plattform solution for
projection-mapping with scene-based control and automation features.Extended
View Toolkit is based on the open source dataflow programming
environment PUREDATA and its GEM extension. It is a set of abstractions
for combining multiple
video or image sources into a panoramic image and for projection setups
with mutliple projectors or projection environments with
challenging geometric forms.
Multiple input media (e.g. camera input, video files, image files, 3D
renderings) can be processed. It is possible to create imagery or video
by either stitching multiple inputs to one continuous, or by unwrapping
a 360-degree image taken with a special optical lens system. Such
processed media input can then be projected onto even irregular shaped
surfaces. It is possible to blend smoothly between multiple projectors,
to create seamless immersive media environments.
